COSTUMES 

The bride wears an empire gown of white cheese-cloth, cut with 
a round neck and elbow sleeves and trimmed with lace or with 
narrow ruffles of the same. The dress is cut en train and she 
wears a wedding veil. She carries a shower bouquet of white 
paper bride roses tied with white ribbon or crepe paper. The 
maid of honor wears a similar dress made of blue or green cheese- 
cloth and carries pink paper roses. She wears a very short brides- 
maid veil or hair ornament. The bridesmaids wear similar dresses 
made of pink cheese-cloth and pink crepe paper hats trimmed with 
a black paper plume. (These are not difficult to make over a ten 
cent frame but should all be alike in picture hat style.) Their 
dresses just clear the floor. The little flower girls wear dainty 
white dresses (any thin dress will do) with trimmings of pink paper 
wild roses and wreaths of the same flowers. They carry paper 
covered baskets with paper roses about outer edge and confetti 
and paper rose leaves inside. This they strew in the path of the 
bride and groom as they leave the platform. The minister wears 
a white cheese-cloth gown cut like a girl's night-dress, with a long 
black cambric stole over it. All of the men but the minister and 
King Cole wear miniature dress suits made of the dull side of 
black cambric. No pattern for this can be bought so a clever 
woman will have to make a pattern for a medium sized boy and 
loan this to the mothers of the boys who take part. They wear 
high collars and white lawn neckties. The pages and ring bearers 
wear their best white suit, with an over jacket of purple cambric 
with white lace frills at sleeves and throat. The ring bearers each 
carry a white satin cushion or pillow three or four inches square 
with a pin sticking in the centre of it. The two wedding rings are 
hung on these two pins. The king wears a military suit with train 
of purple cambric with strip of white canton flannel inked to repre- 
sent ermine across the lower edge of it, and a gilt paper crown. 
The queen wears a gown of white cheese-cloth with long train. 
This is trimmed with tinsel and she wears a tinsel crown. The 
lady guests wear long gowns (some trained) of white, pink, blue, 
lavender or black cheese-cloth, cotton crepe or other material. 
None of the cast wear gloves. The hair of the girls is dressed 
high, in grown up fashion. That of Old Mother Hubbard and 
Mother Goose is powdered, The parts should all be taken by 
children under twelve years of age. Mrs. Oldwomaninshoe's 
children should be little folks rather poorly dressed. 



PREFACE 

The entertainment as originally given and as here described 
calls for between forty and fifty children, including the vested 
choir, but many characters may be omitted if desired. Only six 
rehearsals were necessary to familiarize the children with their 
parts. The last or dress rehearsal was made a children's matinee 
and was held in the afternoon (the Saturday afternoon previous to 
the regular performance is the best time). An admission fee often 
cents was charged and home made candy sold in crepe paper 
napkins at ten cents a package. More than enough was cleared 
at this matinee to clear all the expenses of the two regular evening 
performances given later. It is difficult for one person to success- 
fully handle so many children, so it is well to have three helpers ; 
one the accompanist at the piano, one in the hall or anteroom where 
the children form into line for the march or await their turn to be 
escorted to the reception, and one to keep order among the children 
not actually rehearsing. Two sets of tickets were printed ; one an 
ordinary ticket for the matinee and the other printed in script for 
the evening performance. The latter ticket was in the form of a 
wedding invitation upon a card about the size of a correspondence 
card, and read as follows : 

You Are Invited to Attend the Marriage of 

MISS JILL 

and 
MR. JACK, 

at the Pleasant Street Baptist Church, 

Somerville, Massachusetts, 

Tuesday evening, June the third, 

Nineteen hundred and thirteen. 

(and in very fine type at bottom of card) 

Tickets, 25 cents. Home made candy for sale. 

The platform was prettily decorated with streamers of pink and 
white crepe paper arranged from the centre of the platform to the 
corners and sides. A large white paper bell covered with paper 
wild roses hung over the centre of platform.

E?iter Minister from a door at rear of stage and reads 
slowly : 

The Marriage License 

To the people of the Commonwealth of (?iame state) and to 
any person legally authorized to solemnize marriage. 

Greeting : 

It having been ascertained to the perfect satisfaction of 
the committee upon granting marriage licenses and of the clerk 

of the city of ,, said Commonwealth that Jack Sprat, 

one of the applicants for this license, is of sound and disposing 
mind and memory, is of good moral character, does not drink, 
swear, chew or smoke ; that he is physically strong and able to 
perform a good day's work ; that he has the education and 
brain ability sufficient to fill a lucrative position so that he coild 
not only support his wife and pay her dressmakers' and milli- 
ners' bills but could also supply her with a liberal allowance of 
spending money free and exempt from any control or advice 
from him, the said Mr. Jack ; that his eyesight is sufficiently 
clear to enable him to see whether his wife is well and fashion- 
ably gowned, that his hearing is sufficiently acute to enable 
him to hear all errands that his wife shall entrust to him; that 
his taste is sufficiently accurate to tell that his wife's cooking is 
exactly as good as his mother's ever was and that he never 
reads the paper at the breakfast table. 



THE MARRIAGE OF JACK AND JILL 9 

It having also been ascertained to the satisfaction of said 
clerk and said committee that Miss Jill, the other applicant for 
this license, is a young lady of excellent moral character, is 
physically strong and mentally qualified to know when the 
butcher is overcharging her for tenderloin cutlets, and has 
sufficient strength of will to say "no" with most emphatic 
emphasis to all book canvassers, photograph agents and vendors 
of oriental rugs; that she can cook, sweep, make beds, darn 
stockings, make her own clothes if necessary, tend the fires and 
select suitable neckties for her husband ; that she never appears 
at the breakfast table in kimono and curl papers and never 
scolds if he comes home late to dinner. 

It having also been ascertained that during their betrothal 
they have refrained from quarrelling, that he is willing to deny 
himself for her pleasure and that she seems appreciative of his 
attention ; that they have agreed to take the two bears, bear 
and forbear, into their life-partnership, you, Dr. Foster, are 
hereby authorized to join in Mother Goose Wedlock the 
aforesaid Mr. Jack and Miss Jill according to the laws of this 
Commonwealth, and you are required to return this license to 
me within thirty days.

Ceremony. 

Dearly Beloved : — You have been summoned to this place 
to witness the life partnership of Miss Jill and Mr. Jack. They 
have carefully looked about and after considering many other 
ambitious suitors have decided that they would find no other 
who appears to be more congenial than their present happy 
choice. They have told each other all of their secrets and agreed 
that henceforth and forevermore there will be perfect frankness 
between them. He will tell her every time he forgets to mail 
her letters, and she will confess to him each time she burns the 
bread or pilfers from his trousers pockets. And so they have 
agreed to become a model, up-to-date Mother Goose couple, 
realizing that two married can live much more economically 
than two single souls ; not so much gas burned ; no more flor- 
ists' bills, theatre tickets, candy, etc. If therefore there be 
any present on this auspicious occasion who can show any 
reason why this couple should not be thus united let him speak 
his piece here and now or forever after keep it shady. {Pause. 
To Jack.) Wilt thou have this fair maiden to be thy guiding 
star through thick and through thin ? Wilt thou smile when 
the dinner is cold, kiss her when she lets the fires go out, call 
her loving and endearing names when she forgets to sew your 
buttons on ? 

Jack. Why, of course 1 will. 

Min. And you, Jill, wilt thou promise to take this young 



THE MARRIAGE OF JACK AND JILL II 

Adonis for thy better half, to cook only his favorite dishes, to 
see that an extra set of collar buttons is always in readiness, to 
never use his razor to sharpen pencils with ? Will you agree 
never to tease him for a new punch bowl or new anything else 
simply because Mrs. So-and-so has one ? Do you agree to all 
these things ? 

Jill. Yes, sir. 

Min. Who giveth this maiden away to this young man ? 

Father (taki?ig step forward}. I do. 

{Steps back into placed) 

Min. Well, before it is too late, is there any question you 
would like to ask of your bride, Mr. Jack ? 

Jack. Only will you always, always love me ? 

Jill. Of course I will, you goose. 

Min. And, Miss Jill, is there anything you would like to 
ask of Mr. Jack ? 

Jill. Only — will you always, always love — (Jack steps 
toward her) love my mamma ? 

Jack (looking disgusted and stepping into place). Well, I'll 
promise to do my very best. 

Min. You may now clasp hands and repeat after me : I, 
Jack Sprat Junior — do take thee, Jill Pumpkineater — from this 
day on — just so long as your father — gives me a good position 
— in his store — at a five figure salary — and so long as he — 
provides you with as much spending money — as he has hereto- 
fore — and so long as you are — as loving to — and considerate 
of me — as before our marriage. — And thereunto — I plight thee 
— my hand and seal. The bride will now repeat after me : I, 
Jill Pumpkineater — do take thee, Jack Sprat Junior — from 
this day forth — so long as you let me — belong to as many 
clubs — as I like — have as many pet dogs as I wish — have 
mamma spend at least — one week a month with us. — So long 
as you spend — every evening at home — that we do not go out 
together — and so long as you provide me — with as much ice- 
cream, candy and tickets to entertainments — as before our 
marriage — so long as you never — ask me what I did — with the 
ten cents you gave me last month — and so long as you vote — 
only for such political candidates — as I shall recommend. — And 
thereunto I give you — my hand and seal. In token of this ex- 
change of vows you will now exchange rings. {The ring 
bearers step forward and kneel zuhile Jack places a ring upon 
Jill's finger and she another on his. Ring bearers take

former position.} Forasmuch as Mr. Jack and Miss Jill have 
agreed to become united and have plighted their troth by the 
giving and taking of rings I do pronounce you a model up-to- 
date Mother Goose couple. May your path through life be 
strewn with dandelions and may you not forget to hand over 
the wedding fee. 

(He shakes hands with them.} 

I wish you both a wealth of joy 
Throughout your married life. 

May you be a perfect husband 
And you a model wife. 

{Choir sings the following to tune of Lohengrin' s Wedding 
March while the procession marches to anteroom.) 

There goes the bride, dear, blushing bride ; 
Marching so proudly her loved one beside. 
There goes the bride, happy and sweet, 
May she but roses in life's pathway meet.

INTERMISSION 



SCENE II 

The Reception 

Note. — There should be one small table at rear of stage 
with the wedding gifts upon exhibition. These may be minia- 
tures of what might be given, such as a small piano, tiny tables, 
sewing machine, carpet sweeper, automobile, rugs, dishes, etc. 
From another table at left of stage refreshments are served. At 
the performances already referred to Spanish cream pudding 
was served in tiny butter plates and fruit punch from little 
punch cups. The pudding closely resembles ice-cream and 
does not melt. Small toy spoons were used. After the ushers 
presented the guests to the wedding party they escorted them 
to the refreshment table where they left them. After the guests 
had partaken of refreshments they viewed the gifts. Some 
confetti was placed in dishes on each table for the guests to 
throw at bride and groom when they left the platform. The 
maid of honor, bride, groom and best man in order named 
stand at the right end of platform, and guests must face a little 
to the front when congratulating them so they may be heard by 
audience. Each usher announces the name of the guest he is 
escorting as soon as they reach wedding party. 

Enter wedding party and take position. 

Enter bridesmaids. After Betty's remark about the gifts the 
bridesmaids take their positions back of the refreshment 
table and serve the guests. 

Miss Muffet. My dear Jill, you made a perfectly lovely 
bride and I hope you'll be awfully happy and have a beautiful 
home. You're a winner, Jack. My congratulations, sir. I 
trust you appreciate your good, good fortune. 

Polly Kettle. Oh, Jill, I am heart-broken at the thought 
of your leaving us. Say, dear, your gown is a perfect dream. 
Fits perfectly. Mr. Jack, I suppose I must congratulate you 
although I do think you're awfully mean to take her away from 
us. You've won a dear, though. 

Sukey. Good luck to you, Jill. Say, dear, I'm going to 
have the very same minister you had. He is a dear, isn't he, 



14 THE MARRIAGE OF JACK AND JILL 

Bo Peep ? Everything went off lovely and you looked sweet 
enough to kiss. Hullo, Jack, you're in luck all right. 

Betty. Say, Jill, your presents are simply grand. I only 
hope I will be as well remembered. Congratulations, Jack. 
You certainly do look swell in a dress suit, but I'll bet you'll 
be glad to get off that high collar all right. Well, ta ta. We've 
got to get ready for work. 

{The bridesmaids all look at gifts.*) 

Miss M. Hm ! All the rich Vandergoulds sent was a bon- 
bon dish. 

Polly. Why, that chocolate pot is the very one mother 
gave Mrs. Jones last Christmas. What do you know about 
that? 

Sukey. Oh, they can have seven kinds of salad at once for 
they have seven salad sets. Isn't that great? You know I do 
love salads. 

Betty. I know where Mrs. White bought that vase. 
{Name local store) had a sale of them last week for forty -nine 
cents. Imagine ! Forty-nine cents for a wedding gift. 

(Peter Piper escorts Mrs. Pumpkineater to wedding 
party.) 

Mrs. P. My precious daughter, it is all I can do not to 
cry, but don't you fret I just won't. Everybody says you made 
a beautiful bride, darling, and I'm sure you did. By the way, 
dear, your veil is a bit one-sided. Jack, my love, if it was 
any one but you I would never forgive them for stealing- my 
precious girl. I do congratulate you and wish you both a world 
of happiness. 

(Simple Simon escorts Mr. Pumpkineater.) 

Mr. P. My baby girl ! Well, if you make half as good a 
wife to Jack as your mother has to me he will be a lucky fellow. 
Well, here's my hand, Jack, my boy, and may happiness go with 
you. If ever you want any extra pumpkins don't fail to call 
on the old man. I always keep a large supply on hand. 

(Thomas A'Tattermous escorts Mrs. Jack Sprat.) 

Mrs. J. S. Jill, dearest, I welcome you into our family 
and trust you may never for an hour regret having entered it. 
My splendid boy, it is hard to lose you but you have given us 



THE MARRIAGE OF JACK AND JILL 15 

such a sweet daughter that we will have to forgive you. Jack, 
be sure not to step on Jill's train when you hurry away. 

(Wondrous Wise escorts Mr. Jack Sprat.) 

Mr. J. S. Well, my girlie, you have two daddies now. 
You will have to toe the mark pretty close. Be sure and take 
dinner with us every Sunday and mother will get out a fresh 
platter of meat just for you two. Jack, my boy, you've won a 
treasure and I wish you both a life of happiness. 

(P. P. escorts Mother Goose.) 

M. G. Bless you, my children, bless you. You have both 
come from pretty good families, so I guess you'll come out all 
right. Come and see your Granny whenever you can. The 
latch string will always be out for you both. 

(S. S. escorts Mother Hubbard.) 

M. H And here's your other Granny. A long life and a 
happy one to you both. But don't forget in your happiness 
that there are many empty cupboards in this world that you 
can help fill. Bless you, bless you. 

(T. A'T. escorts King Cole.) 

K. C. My dear Mrs. Jack, I wish you joy and much of it. 
My distinguished congratulations to you, sir. Had I only 
thought of it I would have brought my fiddlers three to help 
give you a good send off. 

(W. W. escorts the Queen of Hearts.) 

Q. O. H. Mrs. Jack, my precious ; you certainly did make 
a charming bride. I trust that your future life may be as filled 
with happiness as your pretty cheeks are with blushes. Mr. 
Jack, I congratulate you. May you make as attractive a hus- 
band as you have a bridegroom. 

(P. P. escorts Bessie Brooks.) 

B. B. My best wishes to you, Mrs. Jack, and to you, sir, my 
deepest sympa — I mean congratulations. 

(S. S. escorts Tommy Snooks.) 

T. S. Mrs. Jack, Jack always was a fine catcher on the ball 
team at college and I think his practice there stood him in good

olav later on. So you are a benedict, old boy. Well, I don't 
Ee you a Httle bit. If your fair bride had S1 sters enough to 
go around we would all very quickly follow your example. 
(T. A'T. escorts Nancy Etticoat.) 
N E Mv dear Till, every married woman doesn't have to 
work herself half to death, so I sincerely hope you will escape 
That fate Mr. Jack, please accept my congratulates and be 
sure and take good care of your charming bride. 

(P. P. escorts Maiden All Forlorn.) 
M A. F. My dear Jill, don't, I beg of you, begin your 
housekeeping on a Friday or the thirteenth of the month. To 
2 minT that is the cause of the majority of unhappy mar- 
riages. I do hope you will be happy. 

(S. S. escorts Solomon Grundy.) 

S. G. Best wishes, mum. Congratulations, sir. 

(W. W. escorts Mrs. Oldwomaninshoe and her thildren.) 

Mrs O I had to bring some of the little folks, but I was 

just bound to come and I did get here at last I do wish you 

Su life filled with joy. Come, dearies, what do you say ? 

Children. We-wish-you-the-same-as-ma. Don t

(After the last usher has left the platform.) 
Tap* Come Till, I don't believe there is anybody else to

see us. 



(They run and the minute they are off the platform the 

guests throw confetti after them calling out, " Good luck 

« Good-bye." Exit bride and groom out of side door.)
